After Dark: Myths, Misdeeds & the Paranormal

Day In The Life Of A Plague Doctor


Listen Later

If you think your job is bad, have you tried being a plague doctor in 17th century Venice?


Join Anthony and Maddy as they wake up on a quarantine island and take you through a day in the life of a plague doctor, including the sights, smells and horrors of what you would have seen as you explored plague-riddled Venice in 1631.


Find out what they would have worn, what they did on their lunch break, and what the perks of the job were!


This podcast was edited by Tom Delargy and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.
